Clark TerryQuintet with Don Butterfield - Top & Bottom Brass- Vinyl LP. Very Good (VG ) Visible scuffing or surface wear may be present, but not deep enough to affect play. This slight surface noise should not overwhelm the music experience otherwise.

The idea of the Jazztet playing arrangements by John Lewis written especially for them is intriguing. Even though the Jazztet and Lewis' own group, the Modern Jazz Quartet, are dissimilar in many ways, the marriage is a successful one.

Mann, who has changed his style numerous times throughout his long career, is heard exclusively in a straight-ahead and bop context on this pair of studio dates. Evans, who studied flute through his college years, rarely recorded with a flutist (Jeremy Steig joined him on a later record for Verve), though he was fond of the instrument; the capable Chuck Israels on bass and drummer Paul Motian round out the trio.

Having found his own voice through stints with Woody Herman and Stan Kenton, Rogers gets a chance to show his appreciation for one of his early influences, with charts that both reflect the supple bounce of Basie and the complexly cool sound the trumpeter had been forging since the late '40s.

US Reissue LP released in the 70’s on Atlantic Records. Cat: SD1429. Modern Jazz Quartet with Laurindo Almeida. The MJQ (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Connie Kay) were joined for this 1964 session by the great acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida, and the music is very memorable.

The MJQ (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Connie Kay) perform six of Lewis's compositions which were used in the film Odds Against Tomorrow. Best known is "Skating in Central Park" but all of the selections have their memorable moments and it is good to hear this classic unit playing such fresh material.

Spanish Reissue LP released in the 70’s on RCA Records. Cat: FXL17234. This album has a gatefold sleeve. Ultra-smooth trumpet and flugelhorn player whose cool style made him a fixture in the west coast jazz scene of the 1950s.

Known as "the band that plays the blues," this album extracts blues-based tunes from two sessions by the 1955/56 incarnations of the Woody Herman Band, one in Hollywood and the other in Chicago. Most of the tunes were made famous by others like Bertha "Chippie" Hill, Louis Armstrong, Joe Williams, and Count Basie, and they get more than a respectable reading by Herman's outfit.

When Bill Evans agreed to do a two piano date with Bob Brookmeyer, eyebrows surely must have raised. The opener "Honeysuckle Rose" gives a basic idea of what to expect, as Evans leads out, Brookmeyer counters his moves, and they trade riffs in an inventive bridge.

This Lp has one of trumpeter Shorty Rogers' finest small group sessions of the 1950’s (originally released as “The swingin’ Mr Rogers). Rogers, Jimmy Giuffre (on clarinet, tenor and baritone), pianist Pete Jolly, bassist Curtis Counce and drummer Shelly Manne are the epitome of cool on a well-rounded and consistently interesting set.

On this Discovery LP drummer Shelly Manne heads a big band (arranged by John Williams) on seven selections and his usual quintet of the era (with trumpeter Conte Candoli, altoist Frank Strozier, pianist Russ Freeman and bassist Monty Budwig) on the three remaining songs.

Called Trigger Happy! Arrangements were by Marty Paich, Tony Scott and Dick Hyman. What's most interesting is how beautifully the distinct sounds of each musician came together—from the tissue-soft pleading of trombonist Urbie Green to the dry-gin tone of clarinetist Tony Scott.

During a period when there were many jazz versions of scores from films and plays, vibraphonist Cal Tjader and arranger Clare Fischer teamed up for a dozen themes from the show including "Maria," "America," "Tonight" and "I Feel Pretty.".

This Pacific Jazz album is a bit unusual. Bob Brookmeyer (on valve trombone and piano), Jimmy Giuffre (switching between clarinet, baritone and tenor), guitarist Jim Hall, either Joe Benjamin or Ralph Pena on bass and drummer Dave Bailey perform eight songs from the 1920s and '30s including some obscurities.
